Jay DeMarcus Plans Son’s Musical Future

Jay DeMarcus' son, Dylan is only a few weeks old, but the Rascal Flatts member already has big career plans for his son. The proud dad, who is also the father of 1-year-old daughter Madeline Leigh, hopes his baby will pick up on the musical talents of his two bandmates.

"I hope that Gary [LeVox] teaches him how to sing like he does and hopefully Joe Don [Rooney] will teach him to play guitar like he does," Jay tells Nashville.com, adding in jest, "Then I can go out on the road with my son and leave these two yahoos!"

The Ohio native, who adds that wife Allison does a remarkable job taking care of their family while he is on the road with the Flatts' Changed tour, insists fatherhood is his top priority. "I want to make sure I will do the best job I can," he told GAC. "We've spent a lot of time reading books and watching videos and a lot of online research -- and watching [Gary LeVox and Joe Don] figuring out what not to do!"

The Changed tour, which includes Little Big Town, Eli Young Band and Edens Edge, heads to North Carolina and New Jersey this week. See their concert schedule here.
